I will leave all, and come and make the hymns of you;
None have understood you, but I understand you;
None have done justice to you--you have not done justice to yourself;
None but have found you imperfect--I only find no
imperfection
in you;
None but would subordinate you--I only am he who will never consent to
subordinate you;
I only am he who places over you no master, owner, better, God, beyond what
waits intrinsically in yourself.

Beneath his feet shot thro' him as he stood in the Human Brain

Pale he beheld futurity; pale he beheld the Abyss

All rav'ning like the hungry worm, & like the silent grave

Only
There is shadow under this red rock,
(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),
And I will show you
something
different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.

My sonsie
smirking
dear-bought Bess,
She stares the daddy in her face,
Enough of ought ye like but grace;
But her, my bonnie sweet wee lady,
I've paid enough for her already,
An' gin ye tax her or her mither,
B' the L--d!

"But who art thou that question'st of our state,
Who go'st to my belief, with lids unclos'd,
And
